I do agree however that we are skewed by our own perceptions of our personality and it would be more insightful for someone else to take the test for us almost.

I had no idea that empathy could be linked/ have association with autism. I took the test out of curiosity and scored a 47, but I do agree with you that the answers could be skewed, since I can say honestly I was a bit confused at what some of the questions were asking.

Genetics is involved, much how you mentioned, in everything in our bodies including how much we feel or the empathy we have for others. I found it interesting that it does not have any correlation with gender, but there may be some association with autism spectrum disorder. The fact that you can take the test yourself, and offer the link for us to take the test is a great touch to the post. I do agree, though, that if you are answering questions about yourself you may be slightly objective to your answers. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06667744756566455614noreply@blogger.com
